Received from Julian Grant, USA--First Proof

Besides making films, Julian has been practicing the techniques of stone lithography using wax pencil and crayons from 1980s Russia. The mask is a compelling subject--I like the idea of it transforming the wearer into another being for another purpose. Why no mouth, I wonder. A thousand thanks for mailing this to me,…

A Blog Post for Snooky and Angie

I confess I was despairing at never having received a corgi in my post!

But here Snooky is - Snooky plus feet. Thank you Angie.

I have never been to Ayers Rock - would love to - been as far a Oodnadata (what a wonderful word) which was 8/9 hours drive from Adelaide - and we were just more than a third of a way to The Rock. Oodnadata is near where the Mad Max movies were filmed -… Continue

Received from Deborah Davidson, Japan--Waratah Blossom Etegami

As Deb explains, The words to this great piece say "I love your laughing face" which is a play on words based on the similarity of "waratah" and waratta. Arigato,…

Puzzle envelopes - from Ahmet Demir

There's nothing like Ahmet's envelopes, they are just amazing. I can't even imagine how much work is put into each puzzle he is sending out, what with them being made of millions of microscopic dots! Truly unique and wonderful work, thanks so much… Continue

A Blog Post for Franscoises Cheyne by Cheryl Penn "I spied with my little eye a bug maybe!"

Mail Art received 29th October 2010.

What a delight greeted me early last Friday morning - this beautifully wrapped artwork from Francoises. The card on the font read: "After cutting up a canvas of an orchid in a pot, I spied with my little eye a bug maybe!! Hope you can see him, Love Fransoises."

Of course I saw him - he was trapped under a piece of glass added by Franscoises.…

Received from Karen Champlin, USA--Peaceful Peacock

Karen's work continues to wow with her personalized stylistic elements--the layers of indecipherable ledgers, net, word lists, and string. To me, this piece looks like something found, something washed ashore. I like it very much.

Super-hero triptych - for De Villo Sloan

I like building up diptychs and triptychs with my photos, and I just found out that I can do the same with mail art.
I'm definitely in a diptych/triptych mood, there will be more of those.
